Top 50 players in the league #5

[Ace of Hades]

Hedman once again.
Add: Johnny Gaudreau

Makar is going to be the best d in the league going forward and that is a very valuable player.

 

[ted2019]

Hedman is my 1st defenseman off the table for me. Off year for him is another great defensemen's career year.

 

[Garthinater]

Fox and makar are on a good path but its to early for me to rank them this highly.

Hedman then breadman.

 

[wetcoast]

Absolutely bizarre Draisaitl is viewed as the 4th best player in the league.

In a good or bad way?

I have him in the top 5 went Crosby just like last round but lots of good answers here, Makar and Hedman are also great options.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Hedman. For Defenders I like to see several years of consistent high level play in both ends of the ice.

 

[I am not exposed]

Man, people still messing up Barkov's name.

It's not Alex!!!

Did you think Florida's former GM was Dave Tallon as well....

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Hedman should have gone 4th.

 

[CanucksSayEh]

Petro was pretty clearly the best dman this playoffs, him and Hedman next up.

 

[Paul4587]

Torn between Hedman, Crosby and Barkov. Went with the all situations dman in the end.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Hedman

I just googled best player in the NHL 2010 and the first list has Malkin below 5.

The 10 best NHL players of the decade

That’s a 10 year listing not a 2010 listing.

You’re right, we shall call him his real name! Aleksander Aleksandrovich! - wow I didn’t know his name was silly

 

[Love]

Yeah, I guess I just wonder why it was a rarity for Malkin to be viewed as the 2nd best player in the league

It wasn’t

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

Kind of shocked by this poll result.

I really don’t understand Hedman going 5th. He’s the 3rd best defenceman, but somehow is the 5th best player overall? I wouldn’t have him go off the board until around 10th.

 

[Makaveli]

Hedman again

 

[daver]

I dunno. It is just weird the type of press Draisaitl gets when he's just McDavid's wing man. Like literally.

Who was the "wingman" in 19/20? Drai or McDavid?

BTW, Crosby and Malkin had as many % point shares in 2008/09 as McDrai had this year.

 

[Legionnaire11]

By the time he actually wins a poll Vasilevskiy will be criminally low in this ranking.

 

[hamzarocks]

Hedman then Matthews then Panarin then Crosby then Marchand then Pastranak

 

[Plural]

I'm taking Hedman here.

 

[4EDM14OIL93]

Absolutely bizarre Draisaitl is viewed as the 4th best player in the league.

You’re right, should be top 3 at least. OP’s saltiness is hilarious too

 

[4EDM14OIL93]

I don't see almost any argument for Draisaitl over MacKinnon and Kucherov.

I do, especially MacKinnon

 

[bossram]

Absolutely bizarre Draisaitl is viewed as the 4th best player in the league.

Crazy.

The same people who cry about "watching the games" literally just rank players by point totals.

 

[Plural]

By the time he actually wins a poll Vasilevskiy will be criminally low in this ranking.

Good point. Vasi probably deserves to go a lot higher than he will. Would not pick him just quite yet though.

 

[Plural]

Hedman than Matthews than Panarin then Crosby than Marchand than Pastranak
